Imam Al-Ghazali, may God have mercy on him
Just as the body is not created in the beginning completely, Rather, it is complemented and strengthened through growth and upbringing through food, likewise, the soul is created incomplete and capable of being perfected, but it is complemented by education, refinement of morals, and nourishment with knowledge, and the boy, no matter how neglected at the beginning of his upbringing, came out mostly with poor morals, A liar, an envious, a thief, a slanderer, a coward, a curiosity, a laughter, Rather, he is preserved from all of that with good discipline.”
Allah says
وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللهُ الدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ وَلا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا) [القصص: 77]،
And seek for what God has given you the abode of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share in this world.” [Al-Qasas: 77]
Individual repair mechanisms1
Self - correction -
Let the first reform for my son be: reforming yourself, for their eyes are tied to yours, what is good for them is what you do, and what is bad for them is what you leave out.
2 - Drawing lessons from the Qur’an and the Prophet’s biography
Saad bin Abi Waqqas, may God be pleased with him, said:
“We will narrate to our children the raids of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, Just as we tell them the surah from the Qur’an"
3 - Surround him with good friends
Allah says
(وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ ولا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلا تطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ أمْرُهُ فُرُطاً) [الكهف:28]
(And be patient yourself with those who call upon their Lord in the morning, and the evening they want his face, and do not turn your eyes away from them you want the adornments of the life of this world, and do not obey the one whose heart we have made heedless of our remembrance, And he followed his desires, and his matter was excessive.” [Al-Kahf: 28].
The prophet Peace Be Upon Him said -
“The parable of a good companion is like that of the apothecary. If he does not love you for his perfume, he will perfume you for his scent, And the likeness of a bad companion is like that of a blacksmith if he does not burn your clothes, It smells of its smoke.” and the hadith was included by al-Tabarani and al-Haythami... classed as hasan.
4- The role of the media
The need to establish a body, or an association, that includes a distinguished elite of media specialists, students of Sharia science, at the level of the same society, and other Islamic societies, aim to: establish controls and frameworks that govern and organize what is shown and broadcast through the media, in accordance with the directives of Islamic law, and the requirements of contemporary reality in mediation and moderation, neither exaggeration nor negligence.
5 - The role of the school
The one who contemplates the reality of the family today notices without trouble that there is a major imbalance in it, In most cases, it is incapable of raising the individual with the hoped-for Islamic education, especially if we know that the problems of divorce are in many cases, Islamic societies have reached a frightening level, as it has reached more than 25%, and most of them are for trivial reasons, this is due to a failure to correct the path of the family from the beginning of its formation, and among the most important factors for the weakness of family preparation today are the following:
1- Weak care in choosing a husband or wife according to the conditions set by the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.
2- Weakness in educating the spouses about the marital relationship, and the ensuing tasks, responsibilities, duties, and rights of each party over the other.
3- Parents' failure to raise their children, and their lack of a sense of great responsibility towards their children.
4- Weakness of being a good example in front of the children inside the house.
5- The interference of other educational means in the upbringing of children from outside the family, and the weakness of the possibility of controlling them.
6 - The role of the mosque
This great educational institution in the Muslim community also suffers from a clear weakness in its required role, it is expected that it will be part of the elements of education due to its importance, and people's relationship with it on a daily basis.
7- Getting him married and forming a good family
The one who contemplates the reality of the family today notices without difficulty that it has a great imbalance, and is mostly incapable of raising the individual the desired Islamic education, especially if we know that the problems of divorce in many Islamic societies have reached a frightening level, with a rate of more than 25%, most of them are for trivial reasons, and this is due to a failure to correct the path of the family from the beginning of its formation, and one of the most important factors in the weakness of family preparation today is as follows:
1- Weak care in choosing a husband or wife according to the conditions set by the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.
2- Weakness in educating the spouses about the marital relationship, and the resulting tasks, responsibilities, duties, and rights of each party over the other.
3- Parents' failure to raise their children, and their lack of a sense of great responsibility towards their children.
4- Weakness of being a good example in front of the children inside the house.
5- The interference of other educational means in the upbringing of children from outside the family, and the weakness of the ability to control them.
1- Weakness of appropriate criteria to know the eligibility of those who wish to join the teaching profession.
2- Poor preparation of the teacher, the preparation that makes him able to influence the behavior of the students. Unfortunately, we see teachers and hear about female teachers in improper situations, forms, and behaviors.
3- Poor capabilities and educational environment, especially school buildings suitable for education.
4- Weak family cooperation with the school in an effective manner in reforming students.
8- Reforming this righteous individual in himself (for society)
Allah says
{يَا بُنَيَّ أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا أَصَابَكَ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ}(لقمان:17).
{O my son, establish prayer and enjoin what is right, And abstain from evil, and be patient over what befalls you, for that is of determination of the affairs} (Luqman: 17).
Allah says
{فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ أُولُو بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِي الْأَرْضِ}(هود:116).
{Had it not been from the generations before you, the first of the remnant, they forbid corruption in the land} (Hud: 116)
In The Hadith
[Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand, If he is not able, then with his tongue, and if he is not able, then with his heart. And that is the weakest faith].
The Muslim strives as much as he can to ward off evil, prevent it, and change its energy. If he is not able to remove it, he hates it in his heart, He was not pleased with him, nor did he accept him. This, although it is the weakest of faith, is necessary, because hatred of evil is the first step in striving to denounce it whenever possible.
Allah says
وَاتَّقُوافِتْنَةً لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً ۖ وَاعْلَمُوا أنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ }(الأنفال:25)
And an agreement that does not afflict those of you who do wrong exclusively, and know that God is severe in punishment.” (Al-Anfal: 25)
Allah says
{فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ أَنْجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوءِ وَأَخَذْنَا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا بِعَذَابٍ بَئِيسٍ بِمَا كانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ}(الأعراف:165)
{So when they forgot what they were reminded of, We delivered those who forbade evil, and We seized those who did wrong with a wretched punishment because they were disobedient.” (Al-A’raf:165)
He says peace and blessings be upon him
